Chapter 921 1 Road Peak Fire

This is the third day Alan arrived in the mountain city.

It was night, and the city lord's mansion was brightly lit. In the study room, warmth radiates from the floor and walls, even at the end of winter, it does not feel cold. There is a temperature-controlled room in the city lord's mansion. In winter, the steam generated flows through the pipes laid to the main rooms of the city lord's mansion. Even in winter, walking around the city lord's mansion doesn't feel cold even wearing thin clothes. This is especially true in Reckerd's study, where the old earl is wearing only a thin coat, sitting at the table and reading several secret reports sent by Jia Ting.

This is the intelligence sent by the person monitoring Allen. With the expansion of the army, Reckerd is also trying to build his own intelligence system. This espionage team has only been established for more than half a year now, its scale is not there, and its ability is limited, but it can still report for duty if it monitors one or two people on its own site. After Jia Ting's screening, the report before the Reckerd case was simple and clear.

Taking time as the axis, where Alan has been and who he has contacted with in the past three days are listed in detail in the report. Some of them made Reket read several times. After reading these reports, Reket snorted heavily.

It just so happened that the eldest son Yopni pushed the door open and entered. Hearing this heavy hum, he knew that his father was in a bad mood. Yopni gestured to Jatin, who backed away. He walked up to the earl's case and asked, "What happened?"

Reckerd pushed the intelligence information ahead of Yopni, and pointed out the few points that should be paid attention to. Yopni glanced over and frowned: "This Sir Allen has had contact with Remington, and he went to the Diamond Queen Theater last night. Could it be to see Parson?"

"I told Parson not to get entangled with that singer, what kind of woman does he want?" Recker shook his head: "Look, if it wasn't for that Ollie, it would be so easy for outsiders to track his whereabouts. But let What I mind is that these two boys keep silent about their contact with Allen!"

Yopni thought for a while, and said: "Parson, I think it's because of Ollie's relationship, so I dare not mention it to your father. As for Remington, it's a joke. He did that the night before yesterday. Asking the teacher about the crime, and knowing about the army that your father sent outside the city, could it be this Sir Allen who did it?"

"Needless to say, although this bastard didn't do anything in the mountain city, he made it clear that he wanted to provoke the relationship between our father and son. I hate those two boys, one is weak, and the other is timid and fearful, neither of them can help The mud of the wall! Having contact with my deadly enemy, and not telling me about this father, this is trying to piss me off."

A smile flashed in Yopni's eyes, but he said, "They're just ignorant."

"Parson is fine, Remington is a big boy, and he is so ignorant? I think he is determined to fight against me, and he is not allowed to go out in the past few days. Send me He kept a close eye on him and asked him to stay at home. If this kid dares to talk, I will break his leg. No matter what, he must be locked up until the viscount leaves." Reket tapped table,

He added: "Also, go and inform Gonza and ask his people to stay in the barracks for me, and not allow them to step out of the mountain city. If they let that guy find out, the empire's iron cavalry will probably arrive at us tomorrow. Under the mountain city."

Yopni nodded: "I have already informed Gonza, and I think he knows the seriousness."

Reckerd sighed and said, "If only Remington was half as sensible as you, I, as a father, can also breathe a sigh of relief."

"It's getting late, you go back and rest."

"Don't worry too much." Yopni smiled and walked out of the study. When the door was closed, he glanced at the old man in the crack of the door, and walked happily to his bedroom. He did inform the alien general, but he also reached an agreement with Gangza. Of course, these agreements were unknown to Reckerd.

"This old bastard keeps saying that he wants to entrust me with important tasks, and even the commander of the legion is not letting me go. Father, father, you are too tricky. How can you still take these powers to the world? Not in the coffin?" After closing the bedroom, Yopni murmured, "It doesn't matter if you don't give it to me, I'll just take it myself."

The mountain road is vast.

The Pan Snake Mountain Road has almost become the private road of Earl Reckerd's family, from the local people to the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city. No one would take the Coiled Snake Highway unless necessary. Besides, here is lifeless, and at night it is even shrouded in cold mist, and only those who are full will come to Pan Snake Mountain Road. Reket simply set up a gatehouse barrier at the entrance of the mountain road, and sent guards to guard it. Unless they are members of Reket's own family, all outsiders need to communicate when they come in and out.

It is now the end of winter, but the weather has not shown any sign of warming up, instead it is as cold as it is. In particular, the mountain city is built on the mountain, and it is even colder at night. The cold fog on the Pan Snake Mountain Road was deep, and the viewing distance was no more than five meters. Even though there is a street lamp every three meters on the mountain road, in the night mist, this street lamp is faint like a will-o'-the-wisp, barely illuminating a square inch of land.

Inside the sentry post at the entrance of the mountain road, two soldiers were smoking cigarettes wrapped tightly in cotton coats. In this terrible weather, night watch is hard work. The guards on the Pan Snake Mountain Road are all drawn from the barracks in turn, and jobs like this that have no oil to fish and suffer from the cold are all placed on the heads of those unlucky bastards who are squeezed out in the barracks. It is said that they are on duty in turn, but every time the duty list issued by the chief, there are those familiar names coming and going.

There are a few of them who are quite clever and know how to stuff gold coins into the pockets of the officers on duty, and they are then drawn out from the duty list. More people can only complain verbally, but they can't change anything, and they get Pan Snake Mountain Road to suffer this living crime.

Tonight was no different from the past, but the two soldiers in the sentry felt that the atmosphere was oppressive, and they didn't know what was going on. Then I heard footsteps, coming from outside again and again. The older one poked the younger colleague next to him: "Go and see."

"Why didn't you go?"

Then he was kicked, the young man cursed and threw away his cigarette butt. He grabbed a saber casually, but it was so cold that his hands were burned. So he carried a musket instead, tightened his cotton coat and walked over. Outside the sentry post, there is a horse barrier at the entrance of the mountain road. The soldier held the wooden peg and looked forward, a figure gradually appeared in the thick fog.

It was a man who was also young, holding a long knife in his hand, walking with his head buried in this way.

"Stop!" The soldier shouted: "Are you blind? You can't tell that this is the Pan Snake Mountain Road, and above it is the City Lord's Mansion. This is not a place for you to wander around. Get out, get out, I don't bother to argue with you. If it were someone else, you wouldn’t have to suffer a severe beating.”

The man grinned: "I just said this to you, you don't have to die tonight."

"What did you say?" The soldier dug his ears, but couldn't hear the man's words clearly. He waved his fire impatiently. The gun said: "Leave quickly, or I will shoot."

The man really didn't seem to understand, he held the knife and walked forward. The soldier cursed, but he couldn't really shoot. Now the surrounding area is extremely quiet, even the city lord's mansion is listening when the gun is fired. To let the old earl know that he only shot to drive away a lunatic, he must take a layer of skin off. At that moment, he bypassed the horse barrier, used a gun as a stick, and stabbed the person in the lower abdomen with a gun, trying to knock him unconscious and drag him away.

Unexpectedly, the butt of the gun just came around the body of the man, as if it had been pierced into a piece of cooked skin, and it couldn't penetrate an inch. However, there was still a long distance between the gun and the man, and the soldier looked panic-stricken. The light in his eyes gradually brightened, and he raised his head in shock, only to see that the light was shining from the underclothes of the person in front of him.

The man smiled slightly, suddenly radiant!

A surge of majestic heat burst out, and the soldiers screamed and flew out backwards. Gao Gao flew over the horse hitch and fell under a street lamp a few meters away. Hearing the shouts from outside, the veteran in the sentry ran out cursing with a gun in hand, just in time to see a ball of flames slowly shrinking, and finally condensed into a complicated pattern of light on the body of the uninvited guest.

The man let out a breath of hot air from his mouth, and suddenly the lights in the sentry suddenly lit up, and the remaining fuel in the stove that had been almost extinguished suddenly burst into flames. Not only that, the street lamps on the Pan Snake Mountain Road also lit up one after another. Then there was a roar, and the lampshade of the street lamp exploded, and a flame burst into the sky inside, and the Pan Snake Mountain Road suddenly brightened, and the flames dispersed the cold fog. The cigarette in the old soldier's mouth fell to the ground, and he looked at the strange scene of the mountain road from ear to ear. At this moment, each street lamp is like a torch, winding up the mountain road, like a corridor of flames.

Fire all the way!

Allen smiled: "Is it fair to smash the field like this?" Then he stepped forward, and the fire of the sky naturally surged forward, and the horse tie ignited spontaneously without fire. The cork, which was wet with cold moisture, was difficult to ignite, but this time it crackled like dry firewood, and broke in the middle when Allen approached. Allen stepped over the broken log and passed the soldier. After he took ten steps, the soldier knew how to jump up, pointed his gun at Allen's back and said tremblingly, "Stop."

At the end of the sentence, there was a loud bang from behind. The soldiers were knocked down to the ground by the shock wave, and felt the ground tremble. When everything subsided, looking back, the sentry post had been blown flat, and flames were pouring out from the cracks in the stone pile. The soldier's face was pale, looking at a hand that was pressed under the stone, suddenly what Allen said just now rang out.

You can't die tonight!

In other words, presumably many people would die besides him? The soldier finally broke down, crying and screaming, dropped his gun, and ran stumbling in the opposite direction.

Allen held the knife and walked up the road. As he walked forward, the lights of the street lamps were charged by the power of the heavenly fire, and burned brighter and more vigorously. When he passed by, the oil in the lamp burned out, and the street lamps went out one by one. So on the mountain road, Allen was used as the dividing line. There is light ahead of him, but darkness behind him is as dark as an abyss!
